Hunter x Hunter 30 Days Challenge: 1, favorite character
Ackkk, this was such a difficult decision! Ultimately I do have to go with Kurapika, because I find him to be the most dynamic and interesting character
plus I always love the angsty ones. Kurapika represents several fascinating themes for me, the most obvious one being revenge, but his constant tug-and-pull between conviction and morality, such as his struggle not to kill Chrollo in the face of Gon and Killua’s capture, are presented in such a nail-biting and thoughtful way! You have to wonder, if you were in a position much like Kurapika’s, would you have been able to carry out some of his actions and resist others? Would you have killed Uvo? Would you have allowed Chrollo, the sole cause of your revenge and pain and sorrow and the loss of people you considered brothers, to live in order to save friends? It’s interesting to think about, and I think it’s Kurapika’s history and character that allow the viewer/reader to examine their lives and the intensity of Kurapika’s own.
